POLITICO 44

“I think that you're misinterpreting those commercials,” Angle told the students on Friday. “I'm not sure that those are Latinos in that commercial. What it is, is a fence and there are people coming across that fence.”

“What we know is that our northern border is where the terrorists came through,” she said. “That's the most porous border that we have. We cannot allow terrorists, we cannot allow anyone to come across our border if we don't know why they're coming. So, we have to secure all of our borders and that's what that was about, is border security.”

The ad in question clearly shows an image of three Hispanics who are identified in the spot as “illegal aliens.”

In fact, the picture shown in the ad is the same one used by in an ad from Sen. David Vitter (R-La.). That ad has the words “benefits for illegals” written over the image.

Angel is dangerously ignorant. Her idea that women and children who are victims of incest/rape is 'God's will" and that the women and children victims of rape should be forced to continue unwanted pregnancies is frightening. She also wants to gut social security and the minimum wage. She is the tea bagger's dream candidate, but for the other 80% of us sane folks, she is a nightmare.

So, your can't even tell what a photo shows which is probably mexicans as usual jumping the fence which is a illegal act without being demonized. Political correctness designed to work only one way, in favor of those who are violating our laws has to stop.

If she's a republican Jose you just have to assume she's about hating immigrants. She is with the rest of teaparty that can't stand the though of a brown America. Blow her off and vote in your best interest: DEMOCRAT

Am I wrong is saying that when she said "what we know our northern border is where the terrorists came through" is completely incorrect? Yes it is they were all here (originally) legally - what terrorists is she talking about coming through our northern borders?????? Some may have well been here on expired visas but they orignally arrived here legally.

12 million people break into our country illegally across our southern border every year. It sure as shinola isn't Canadians breaking in. Illegals make a mockery of all those who wait in line and follow the rules to come here and enjoy what we've built. Clearly a solid majority of the illegal immigrants sneaking over our borders are of Hispanic origin...so it's not remotely inappropriate to feature Hispanics in an anti-illegal-immigration ad. This is just common sense. You're not the keeper of any special insight. We know full well that most Hispanic folks here are just regular folks like any of us. Save it, Captain Obvious.

Many of our legal Latino citizens send money home to help their families. Look what Obama is doing to you now:

ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP

Checked this on snopes, it's true! Check out HR 4646

A one percent transaction fee (TAX), proposed by President Obama's finance team, is recommending a transaction tax. His plan is to sneak it in after the November elections to keep it under the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution. Banks, Credit Unions, Savings and Loans, etc.. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your account, will have a 1% tax charged. If your pay check or your social security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction. If your paycheck is $1000 then you will pay Obama ten bucks just for the privilege of depositing your pay check in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check in to your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged. You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, Obama takes 50 bucks just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank. If you take $1,000 cash in to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged. Mind you, this is from the man who promised that if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn about this guy's under the table moves to increase the number of ways you are taxed. Oh, and by the way, you receive a refund from the IRS next year....and you have it direct deposited or else you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it in your bank. Remember, any money, cash check or whatever no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.

Some will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you kidding me, it's a 1% tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone protests, they will just say oh,that's not really a tax, it's a user fee! Think this is no big deal? Go back and look at the transactions from last years banking statements. When you add the total of all the transactions you did last year, then deduct 1%. Still think it's no big deal???

I agree that Sharon Angle should have taken a stand and said yes that is Latinos in the commercial. She should have said I am tired of being Politically Correct because someones' feelings might get hurt. 99% of illegals are coming from Mexico. To say illegals are coming from Mexico is not saying America hates brown people it is saying a fact. And facts are dirty little things democrats like to stay away from.

country realist and deerhunter, before you start defending Angle, you should know that the picture of the three 'illegals' was actually taken in Mexico and not coming across the border. These same three 'illegals' was an in ad for Vitter, and the photographer who took the picture is complaining. It is truly amazing that she can tell them that they are 'misinterpting' the campaign ad.

Obama is NOT behind any "Transaction TRax". This is an idea originally floated in 2004 by a single member of Congress, Democratic Rep. Chaka Fattah of Pennsylvania. So far it has attracted little support and gone nowhere. The White House has not endorsed it even a little bit.

Yes, so what? If people are crossing our southern border illegally - most likely they are hispanic. Get over it hispanic population. We do not want illegal aliens in our country. Come in the right way or stay home and better your country.

And all you scared little progressives out there should stop lying about the tea party. They are not racist. The true racists are the democrats who do everything in their power to keep the minorities down and keep them from achieving so they can keep their vote. More welfare programs does not help anyone achieve the American Dream.

You have some facts wrong. 12 million illegal immigrants do NOT cross over our borders each year. The letset estimate for the total number of illegal immigrant inthe US is 13 million.

Last year it was estimated that 400,000 illegal immigrants crossd the US/Mexico border. that was down from the 800,00o who crossed a couple years earlier. The number of illegal immigrants crossing our borders is actually going down.

Depending on which estimate you want to believe, Mexicans only make up between 40% and 60% of all illegal immigrants.

...Goldman_Owned_Party: "Because republicans are RACIST and they use fear of other races to justify their RACIST policies. If you look at every Tea Bagger rally it always looks like a KKK lynching is taking place."

The Democrat troll is at it again, sputtering nonsence as per usual. I checked Wikipedia for information on the origins of the KKK. Get a load of this...

Historian Eric Foner observed:

'In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired restoration of white supremacy. Its purposes were political, but political in the broadest sense, for it sought to affect power relations, both public and private, throughout Southern society. It aimed to reverse the interlocking changes sweeping over the South during Reconstruction: to destroy the Republican party's infrastructure, undermine the Reconstruction state, reestablish control of the black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life.[30]'

It seems to me that the KKK was, from the very beginning, closely aligned with the Democrat Party. I'm sure Liberal Democrat political hacks are proud of that association.

The troll can now proceed to utter more nonsence in his/her/it's defense...

Latinos make-up the majority of the Illegal Immigrants working in the U.S. due to the proximity of Central America to what was the "Open Border." Whoever made that ad used "stock footage" that anybody can buy from an photo agency. That image could be used for an ad for beer just as easily.

What the sudents are really complaining about is that the image was that of "working class" Illegals while they are waiting for the "Dream Act" to make it possible for some of them to go to taxpayer supported state colleges.

The "Immigrant Rights" groups are trying to change the image of the Illegals in front of the Television News cameras at the demonstrations against the U.S. Immigration Laws they are staging in another attempt to fool the American people:
